Sunny all day

Cardinals, titmice and finches are squabbling on the feeder. The beauty berry is starting to turn. The biting bugs are fierce today. I got a glimpse of the goldfinch and of a woodpecker - maybe a flicker as it looked brown. I'm saying woodpecker because it was in a characteristic pose with tail braced on the trunk, but leaves obscured much of it.

Today the hummer chased a swallowtail and later a chickadee. What a waste of energy. Doves have been much in evidence. Two wrens were in the junipers by the trash cans and one sang at me while the other scolded. Two more frogs a-swimming. So much for my rain theory.
